Why are high-waisted bikinis in fashion?

The high-waisted trend has been on the fashion radar for being one of the most flattering styles out there; they slim the body, create a stretch effect on the legs, allow you to hide your tummy and much more. Here are five reasons why high-waist bikinis are a luxurious addition to your closet.

They do not go out of style

Micro bikinis and trikinis disappear and appear on the map, while the high-waisted bikini is still in force even though more than 50 years have passed since they appeared before everyone's eyes. And it's still very chic. This is a reason to wear it this summer, where it is enriched with new colors and prints.

Perfect for petite women

The silhouette of the women's swimsuits made in the 1950s is considered the most feminine of all. Not surprisingly, the high-waisted bikinis visually lengthen the legs and have a flattering effect on the hips and bust. Although patterned models are the ones that have that "stretching" power.

Guaranteed comfort

These culottes are very comfortable and perfect for those who don't want to show too much. Once you get used to hiding those inches of skin on your belly, you won't want to wear anything else!

Ideal for hiding the bulge in the tummy

High rise bikinis are the secret weapon of anyone who wants to hide those extra pounds. Many say that they should be avoided altogether if you have an overly protruding belly because they would risk creating rolls that don't look very aesthetically pleasing. But if you like yourselves, what's the problem? We are all free to choose what we like.

The right tan for your 90's look

They say that high-waisted panties are not the best ally to get the perfect tan. But, between tastes and colors, the diversity of opinions will always be a disjunctive. The fact is that if you love to wear high-waisted jeans with a 90's style short top, your opinion will be very different.

What is indisputable is that these bikinis provide good protection from the sun's rays.

Which high-waisted bikini to wear?

There are those who think of buying a black model because black creates a slimming effect. No, no and no! This philosophy is nothing but a deception when it comes to putting your figure in this type of bikinis.

Since there is a lot of fabric available, with a black culotte panty, we will only focus the attention of others where we don't want it to be. Therefore, it is advisable to opt for bright colors and patterns that may help you mask that bulging tummy.

But for those of you girls who have nothing to hide, there is good news: you can afford to wear high-waisted black outfits and maybe embellish them with the most colorful and extravagant top.

This way, by drawing attention to the top, the tummy, hips and thighs will take a back seat.

Tips to get the most out of them

If you are thinking of buying high-waisted bikinisbe sure to follow these tips:

  • The fabric should be thick and of good quality. Completely avoid materials that are too light or with very visible seams because they could generate the opposite effect.
  • If your belly does not protrude too much, it is best to wear classic high-waisted swimsuits.
  • If you have a protruding belly, don't be afraid to experiment with these high-waisted bikinis. There are those who argue that models that cover the entire belly are better and there are those who argue that they should not go beyond the navel. The truth? There is no rule to follow. Head to a dressing room, take off your clothes and try on two different models: One with a very high waist and the other with a high waist but not above the navel, then draw your own conclusions. You will surely find one that works better for you.
  • Avoid horizontal lines that create an optical effect of enlargement. Also discard the models that have thin threads on the hips because if you are flaccid, it will expose this flaccidity to everyone's view.

Conclusions

As you will see, high-waisted bikinis will make this year's brocades much bigger than usual, will even make way for the use of high-waisted pants as in the 90'. Well, the reality is that this type of women's swimsuit will take beaches and pools by storm, making us look retro and pleasing to the eye.

Until today We don't know of a bikini that is as flattering and feminine as the high-waisted bikini! What are you waiting for? Join this trend and make a difference this summer.
